Lucky I checked on the Hermitage link before I commented as I was thinking you were talking about the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg and then I was going to tell you of a novel I recently finished that was set in The Hermitage during WWII - The Madonnas of Leningrad - and it was good, though ended rather abruptly. But now that I'm not going to tell you that ... I'll visit The Hermitage blog instead!

Hello Suze, I was just pointed here by someone who found me via you, what a lovely place it is, and so pleased you loved these mousie fellows.. I'm going to be ever so cheeky and point out that the link to my blog is a little bit wrong.. it should be intothehermitage.blogspot.com:) Thanks very much for the nice things you say about my hermitage ... I shall be adding you to my links :)All bests from chilly ScotlandRima
